comedians and podcast hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster are thrilled to announce a new set of live dates for 2026 with Off Menu Live: The Tasting Menus. Following a completely sold-out UK & Ireland tour in 2023 and fresh off the back of a packed-out London Palladium run last week, Ed and James are now gearing up to take over London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall in March 2026.

Tickets are available to members of the Off Menu mailing list on Monday 31st March at 10:00 am with general on sale taking place on Wednesday 2nd April at 10:00am. Tickets will be available from royalalberthall.com and seetickets.com.

Off Menu Live: The Tasting Menus will feature a different returning guest at each show, being served a surprise set of dream dishes. Fan favourites from the Off Menu back catalogue are invited back to the Dream Restaurant, except this time they don’t know what they’ll be eating.

Since launching in December 2018, Off Menu has become one of the biggest podcasts in the country, regularly topping the podcast charts and racking up nearly 200 million downloads. Now it’s time to serve a meal that’s fit for a king for the Royal Albert Hall’s biggest ever podcast run.

Ed Gamble said: “It still makes me laugh out loud that we get to do this at the Royal Albert Hall. I hope it goes ahead before the people in charge realise what the show is.”

James Acaster said: “Can’t wait to return to our spiritual home and treat it like only we can. We were born for this. Were you?”

In 2019 and 2020, Off Menu was nominated for Best Comedy Podcast at the British Podcast Awards and in 2021 and 2022 was nominated for Best Comedy Podcast at the National Comedy Awards. Over the last six years Ed and James have had some of the biggest stars of stage and screen join them in the Dream Restaurant, from Hollywood royalty like Robert De Niro, Florence Pugh and Paul Rudd, to national treasures including Kathy Burke, Sir Lenny Henry and Bob Mortimer.
